How Tessa sounds
A two-syllable name, Tessa has a steady beat that sits well with a one- or two-syllable surname. The name Tessa trails off on a vowel, a gentle ending that carries well when called out. For the ear, Tessa is light, bright and quick, which the scheme counts as an air sound. Year after year Tessa appears at a steady pace in U.S. birth records, a dependable middle path. In U.S. birth records Tessa has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
Tessa starts on T, D, N, L or R, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the fire group and that this scheme carries over to English. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Tessa is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Tessa earns some credit for charts missing earth. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Tessa would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
